Yes, but ale isn't really an obscure term!

Beer falls roughly into two categories. Ale which is top fermented and 
lager which is bottom fermented. Ale is dark, think English gentlemen in 
tweed jackets and touring caps; is served warm, tastes like mud and is 
associated with depression and people who think too much.  Lager which 
is the golden nectar of Loki, tastes crisp and refreshing and is 
associated with happiness, laughing, leather clothing, und the having of 
a gute time.

Ale probably has the better music.

In general I find that people who are critical of beer and are 
prescriptive about what "real beer" should be, just don't like lager. 
Yebisu is good beer, especially the hilariously named seasonal version 
THE HOP, and if you don't like it you don't like lager.

and I'm thirsty.
